Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼1%; Now £3.2m
Cash at bank: —; Now —
Headcount: ▼7%; Now 43
Deferred income: ▲20%; Now £544k
Fixed assets: ▼1%; Now £3.8m
